Investigating ground water recharge potential through various analytical methodologies: A case study at Babina block, Bundelkhand region

Abstract

This study has been carried out at Babina Block, Bundelkhand region presented to estimate the ground water recharge potential of a shallow dug well by applying rainfall-infiltration factor (RIF) and water table fluctuation (WTF) methodologies. The research area's chosen wells provided the data, which was then used to determine the yearly water withdrawals for domestic and irrigation purposes, which came out to be 0.091 million m3 and 0.339 million m3, respectively. These investigations led to the observations that WTF and RIF had net annual ground water availability of 1.193 million m3 and 1.209 million m3, respectively.
